Tuition, Room & Board, and all related ISP fees are due at the time an international student arrives to the school for the start of classes. Tuition & Fees for the year is $13,195 and may be paid in its entirety before the first day of classes, or it may be paid in two equal installments.

The two equal installments: 1) fall term of ISP fees of $6,750 paid on or before the first day of classes in September, and 2) the spring term tuition of $6,750 paid on or before January 25th. Students are not allowed to begin classes in any term in which their tuition is not yet paid. Once the student has entered his first day of class, tuition for that semester will not be refunded.

The Room & Board fee for the HORIZON Host family is paid to the family by the month. This fee is collected from the ISP student’s family in advance and paid to the Host family through the current semester regardless of the length of time the student is actually living with the Host family.

Host families often make investments, arrangements, and have expectations related to having an international student living in their home, and the sudden departure or early withdrawal of an ISP student during the school year would leave a Host family without relief or recourse.
